In the death grip of a grizzly bear, Bruce Banner begins to panic, triggering a transformation into the Hulk. The Hulk easily fights off the bear and sends it fleeing into the woods.

These footprints are found by a pair of hunters named Clem and Joss who believe that they belong to the legendary creature known as Bigfoot. They are shocked to see the footprints suddenly shrink in size. Eventually, they come upon Bruce Banner, who is lost in the freezing cold. Still, the hunters fire at him, prompting Banner to flee. He trips and falls down a hill and lands out front of a cabin. Getting back to his feet, Banner tries to make a break for it but steps into a bear trap.

Synopsis for "The Black Knight"

The Walker and Captain Britain are trapped in a burning barn set ablaze by the people of Stanleigh who have been enthralled by the evil Mordred. As the evil wizard gloats over his impending victory, the Black Knight arrives astride on his flying horse Valinor. He strikes Mordred down and rushes into town to rescue his friends. Valinor comes smashing through the wall of the burning barn and the Knight has his two companions get onto his steed so they can fly away. Later, when the townspeople are free from Mordred's spell, the local milkman brags about how he stood up to the strange men who came to town. His tale of false bravado is cut short when he is suddenly frightened by the howl of Lupe, the Walker's faithful wolf who had lost track of his master during the battle.

In the nearby wood, the Walker hears Lupe's cry and calls back. This also attracts the attention of the diminutive Elf known as Moondog. The small warrior reveals himself to the trio of warriors and warns them to keep quiet as the forces of their enemies are still in the wood hunting them. When the Walker introduces Moondog to the others they surprised to learn that he is an elf, especially given the fact that he looks much different than they would have thought. However the introductions are cut short when suddenly they hear something coming their way. Soon a massive creature emerges from the forest and the Walker identifies it as the Iron Ogre.

Synopsis for "Ant-Man"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Tales to Astonish #40
(originally printed as The Day That Ant-Man Failed!)

While Hank Pym has invented a new gas mask made out of unstable molecules, armored cars in the city are being besieged by a criminal dubbed the Hijacker, who is able to steal entire armored cars and make the drivers forget what happened. Heaviest hit by this is Howard Mitchell, owner of the Mitchell Armored Truck Company, who is losing clients every time one of his armored cars is stolen.

Hearing of Mitchell's plight via his spy ants, Ant-Man pays Mitchell a visit and agrees to help try and catch the Hijacker. Before leaving, Ant-Man takes note that Mitchell happens to have a collection of ancient Inca carvings.

Arriving on the scene, Ant-Man's presence gives the guards on site a sense of relief until Ant-Man is stricken with appendicitis and orders his ants to carry him to a hospital. Feeling as though Ant-Man had failed them, the guards continue on their armored car rounds anyway.

As expected the Hijacker attacks and uses a gas to knock out the truck drivers. As he is using a blow torch to access the money inside the truck, Ant-Man suddenly attacks! In combat, Ant-Man explains that he has a suspicion that the robberies were an inside job so he feigned illness to give the Hijacker the courage to make the theft, while Ant-Man hid on the roof of the truck (using his gas mask to render him immune to the gas.)

Eluding his opponent in the interior and engine of the truck, Ant-Man manages to land on his foe's gas-mask and tear a hole in it big enough for the Hijacker to be affected by his own gas, causing him to pass out. Ant-Man orders his ants to unmask his foe, revealing him to be Howard Mitchell. When the police arrive, Ant-Man explains that he was tipped off that Mitchell was the crook because the statues in Mitchell's office tipped him off about what he knew about the Inca use of sleeping vapors that cause memory loss. Defeated, Mitchell reveals that the reason why he committed the robberies was because his company was losing money and his thefts would recoup the losses, however he never figured Ant-Man would ever get wise to his plot.

Synopsis for "Night Raven"

Night Raven has just pushed the wheelchair-bound Mr. Big into the path of police officers who have arrived at the scene of his Speak-Easy. Not willing to be taken alive, the mobster pulls a machine gun out from under his blanket and begins opening fire. The officers scatter clearing a path for Mr. Big. However, the mobsters somewhat daring escape is cut short as his wheelchair rolls out into the middle of the road where he is fatally struck by a delivery truck. The officers on the scene are horrified by the sight of the crippled man going under the wheels of the truck.

Meanwhile, the Assassin resumes his attempts at trying to kill the Night Raven. The struggle turns out to be shortlived as the masked vigilante gains the upper hand and manages to brand the Assassin with his mark. Inside the Speak-Easy, the police are engaged in a gun battle with the remaining members of Mister Big's gang. The last surviving member of the gang flees down into a nearby alley and tries to find cover in a storage room. When the police begin their search they hear a scuffle going on behind the door and open fire. When the door open, the man they were after falls out dead. However, he wasn't killed by their bullets, but by the mark of the Night Raven, who has also pinned one of his trademark notes on the lapel of his latest victim's coat.
